Resistance Creator Expanding
Makers of the popular Ratchet & Clank and Resistance franchises, Insomniac Games, is planning to open a new studio in North Carolina; the studio is based in California.
Company founder and CEO Ted Price has said that the company plans to search for office space over the coming months, and expects to open doors by January 2008. It will be headed by Insomniac art director Chad Dezern, with gameplay lead Shaun McCabe acting as production director.
Around 30 new employees will be hired for the studio, which will mark Insomniac’s first expansion in 14 years.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to start a new group with the same philosophy that we’ve built up over the last 14 years at Insomniac, which is to have a team focused on top craftsmanship and attention to detail,” said Price. “It gives us a great opportunity to bring on folks who may not have the ability to make it to the West Coast or who prefer the East Coast to the West Coast.”
